Vintage Lettering: Custom Compositions From Scratch

Introduction to lettering

“We have arrived at the end of my Domestika course on lettering compositions. I hope you enjoyed our journey through the world of lettering as much as I did! Thank you for your interest and participation. To recap, I will quickly summarize the main steps we took for completing the final project: • Before starting with our project, we went through some basics of letter design. • We gathered some ideas for the lettering style we wanted to use for our composition. • We went through multiple versions of the quote, sketching a few thumbnails. Then, we developed the thumbnail of our choosing further, adding more and more details.

• We refined the main sketch until we ended up with the clean, final version. Afterward, we added color and effects to the design. Then, we added some texture and prepared the file to share it online. Upload your project to the community board and engage with your fellow participants! I will also be there to answer your questions and give feedback. Again, thank you so much for taking part in this course. See you in the forum!”
